German term or phrase: Zwischenschubprahm
Context:

"Fahrzeuge, die nicht gebaut sind, um an der Spitze eines Verbandes geschoben zu werden. Ausnahmen (z. B. Zwischenschubprahm, Mattenleger)"

I can only find German references to this, even on English-language sites, e.g.
http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f134/opencpn-internation...

Also not sure about Mattenleger.


* Sentence or paragraph where the term occurs: See above

box barge
Explanation:
Have a look at the report on the site quoted below, of which this is an extract:

2 Pusher-Barge System
With refer to Pfenningstorf’s paper [3], a pusher with twin screws and twin rudders was designed and
tested at Hiroshima University Towing Tank, together with the various combinations of barges. Two types
of barges were designed: rake-barge and ***box-barge***. Rake-barge is always the leading barge with rounded
bow and box-barge is the in-between or aft barge. Body plan of the pusher and rake-barge are shown in
Figure 2 and 3, and principal dimensions of the pusher and barges are shown in Table 1.

I think the "mat-layer" is also probably a good bet.
